Automotive companies are increasingly relying on electric and smart cars. Manufacturers of other types of transport are following along the way. Petr Zin, CEO of American startup Zin Boats, recently spoke to TechCrunch about how innovation can transform shipbuilding. The startup dreams of repeating Tesla's success on the water. However, it will not be easy for him to reproduce the business model of Elon Musk, not being Elon Musk.
The Zin Boats website immediately shows that this is a new generation of progressive company. Its ultimate goal is neither more nor less "to help save our future ." The company positions itself as environmentally friendly. Her boats do not pollute the water with engine oil and the air with exhaust gases. This is because they are electrical.

( Los Angeles Times) argue that Musk's business, by and large, survives and develops due to government subsidies. Finally, Musk sells hundreds of millions of dollars in greenhouse gas quotas annually .
When Elon Musk just started the Tesla project, he was already a "promoted" media person. Petr Zin will either have to repeat the success of an outstanding PR specialist who knows how to come to an agreement with both the state and investors, a visionary of high technologies, or he will have to invent another business model that is independent of government subsidies. Otherwise, his boats will remain a niche product for a limited circle of eco-oriented rich people who like to swim in their free time.
